November 2020 Morning Meeting Highlights

Good day members. Thank you to all who attended our meeting. We had a wonderful morning meeting and a great open forum discussion. Here are the November 2020 morning meeting highlights.

The meeting was moderately attended. As we get into the holidays, it seems that merchants are more super occupied than other times. Which is great!

We opened the meeting with Dr. Jennifer Laird welcoming everyone, the pledge and offering coffee and snacks (provided by the FMA for our guests).

This was followed by a membership report from Nanci Spears.

From here, we jumped straight into a Membership Discussion. The FMA wanted to know:

• What would you like to get from your FMA Membership?

• Is there anything you would like to learn more about?

• How do you engage the Freeport market?

We were pleasantly surprised that we never got past the first bullet point!

The vast majority said they wanted networking opportunities out of the FMA. This was followed up by asking for participation in more events with others and holding more of our own events.

Then that springboarded into wanting more members so we could have better networking groups and asking for current members to bring a non-member to an event.

There was so much positive energy in the room that it kind of electrifying.

Although the meeting could have gone on and on we had to close. So all members should expect more things to roll out through the end of this year and into the next!

We look forward to seeing you all at the December Evening Social and our next morning meeting.
